FAQ
How will I receive my images?
Sessions are delivered through a high-resolution online gallery. You will be able to download your images directly to your computer from your online gallery.
What happens if my outdoor session gets rained out?
I wish I could order sunny and 70 for every session! However, there is always a possibility of rain on the day of your outdoor session. We will watch the radar leading up to the day of your session. If it is raining or there is bad weather, we will work together to find another date that works for everyone or move the session to an indoor location or studio. There is no fee to reschedule due to rainy weather.
When should I reach out?
If you think you would like to book a session, go ahead and reach out!
Fall family sessions typically book up very quickly. I suggest booking your fall family sessions late summer / early fall. However, don't be afraid to reach out last minute. I often have last minute openings.
How long is a session family session with you?
Depending on the nature of the session, our time together typically lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour. With young kids, I try to be creative in maximizing our time together. My goal is for you is to leave your session feeling unrushed and knowing we had just the right amount of time together!
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
The good news is.... I'm not a videographer! I am very comfortable around kids and not much surprises me. Moms with young kids often tell me that they can't believe that, despite the fact that their session felt like a whirlwind, they received so many great images. My goal is for your kids to have fun and not feel like they are having their photo made. We will play games, laugh, and create some great candid captures. If they just need a minute... that's fine!
What time of day do you schedule sessions?
For the best light, I prefer to shoot outdoor sessions early morning or 1-2 hours before sunset.
Newborn sessions are available on weekday mornings at 10 am.
When should I schedule my newborn session?
I recommend scheduling newborns within the ten day window of their birth or at the one month mark. In the ten day window, they are the sleepiest and easiest to capture those first few days. At the one month mark, babies are more awake and families may feel a bit more settled into a routine. That being said, I usually pencil in a date near the due date and if they are born earlier or later, we can always tweak the session date.
How long will it take to receive our images?
You can expect to receive your photos 2-3 week after your session date!
Do you offer prints & Framing?
Yes! You will have the option of purchasing high-quality prints and fine- art prints, directly through your online gallery. If you book an heirloom session, you will also have the option of purchasing custom vintage, fine art, rag and torn edges prints.
Framed images can also be ordered straight from your gallery from a high-end professional printing lab that I have personally selected.
What should my little one wear to thier heilroom shoot?
For little boys, I recommend a smock outfit or collared shirt. For little girls, I recommend a dress or smock dress and a bow. There are some great kid's heirloom portraits on Pinterest for inspiration.
See my style guide for recommend places to shop.
Where do your heirloom sessions take place?
All heirloom sessions are held at a photography studio located on the Marietta Square.
Will all of my heirlooms be in color?
Your heirloom gallery will include a combination of color and black and white images.
